Concrete Patios
Transform your backyard into an outdoor living space you'll love for years to come.
Why Choose Concrete for Your Patio
Your backyard should be more than just grass. A well-built concrete patio gives you a clean, durable space for grilling, entertaining, or just relaxing after a long day. Unlike wood decks that rot or pavers that shift and settle, concrete stays level and solid through every Illinois season.
We've built patios throughout Champaign, IL that handle our freeze-thaw cycles, summer storms, and everything in between. When we pour your patio, we're thinking about how it will look and perform 20 years from now, not just next summer.
What Makes a Great Patio
A patio is more than a flat slab in your yard. Here's what goes into building one that lasts:
- Proper slope and drainage: Water needs somewhere to go. We grade your patio so rain flows away from your house, not toward it.
- Thick, reinforced concrete: We use rebar and proper concrete thickness to prevent cracks and settling.
- Control joints: These planned cuts guide where cracks form, keeping them small and hidden.
- Quality finishing: Whether you want a smooth finish, broom texture, or decorative options, we match the look to how you'll use the space.
Local Expertise for Champaign Weather
Building patios in Champaign, IL means understanding our weather. Our ground freezes deep in winter and bakes hard in summer. We prepare the base to handle these temperature swings. That means proper excavation, compacted gravel, and concrete mixed to withstand our climate.
We also know how to time the pour and cure process for Illinois weather. Pour too late in fall or too early in spring, and you risk freeze damage. We schedule your project when conditions are right for long-lasting results.
Design Options That Fit Your Style
Your patio doesn't have to be plain gray concrete. We offer stamped and decorative concrete that mimics stone, brick, or custom patterns. You can also add color, borders, or integrate your patio with walkways for a complete outdoor design.
